R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
Hadley, Thank you for the clarification! This is too bad as I had thought that given that RStudio server followed a web-based rather than a client-server paradigm that I could use my iPad to access an RStudio server and thus have access to R. Perhaps I wasted a loot of $$$$ on my iPad . . .

You can not type _anything_ into Rstudio if you connect to it on the ipad. In other words, Rstudio is not currently usable on the ipad. Hadley On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 6:08 PM, John Sorkin

Hadley, First, thank you for replying to my question. Are you saying that the iPad browser will not allow me to type the character string :/ into a browser window? I am not sure exactly what you are trying to tell me. Please forgive my lack of insight! Can you explain a but further? Do you have any suggestions for a solution that will allow me to access R on my iPad?

Even if you do get Rstudio running on a server, unfortunately it won't help. The ipad doesn't support quite enough html to get a fully functional Rstudio interface - almost everything works but you can't type anything :/ It would be possible to fix this, but fundamentally we don't believe that the Rstudio interface is the right choice for an ipad.

I bemoan the fact that I can not run R or Rstudio on my iPad. A possible work around would be to set up a server (probably under Linux), and get the server to present a web page that to would allow me to run R on the server. I have searched the web for a clear, simple answer on how to do this but can not find one. There are answers, but not for someone who has not built a Linux server. Can someone provide either a reference to, or a short explanation of how I can build the server, get R or RStudio to run on it, and get the server and its R or RStudio program available to me on my iPad? I can probably find guidance on how to build an Apache server under Linux.
